In the dead of night the government just signed away Irelands right to challenge corporations! Now the right to profit is the sole privilege of massive multinational companies and vulture funds who can drag the government to court if they harm their profits. For context, it’s easier for us to leave

Scandalously at 1am, the government has just pushed through a law with far reaching ramifications.
It allows them to sign up to a parallel court process only accessible by corporations. There they can sue Ireland if we do anything to interfere with their "right" to profit.

FG, FF, SF & Independent Ireland just handed €100m of public money to horse & greyhound racing — 3x the funding for all sports. €20m for a cruel greyhound industry. This establishment has its priorities wrong.

The Labour Party now says it’s a ‘Connollyite Republican’ party — but are they for real?
At a recent conference, Ivana Bacik claimed the Labour Party were now a 'Connollyite Republican' party. The announcement reflects a wider shift in Irish politics, but questions how deep does the commitment go.

The housing crisis isn’t an accident - it’s the result of landlords price-gouging ordinary people for profit, while big investors and vulture funds snap up nearly 80% of homes sold in this state.
On top of that, for every 1 long-term rental, there are 12 Airbnbs - a system that puts tourists ahead

This is a government that sides with landlords and developers.
They won’t ban economic evictions, they allow rents to spiral, and they funnel huge sums of public money to the same developers.
While their circle gets richer, families and children are left without homes.
